Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the sweet potato, carrot, and zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
Step 2
Place the grated vegetables into a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt (optional if making for babies). Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, flat patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Place the patties in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining patties, adding the second teaspoon of olive oil as needed.
Step 8
Let the patties cool completely before serving to your baby. Serve as-is or with a side of yogurt for dipping.
